Alpine has promised Esteban Ocon that he will be treated equally to Pierre Gasly for the rest of the Formula 1 season, despite another flashpoint in their relationship.
Ocon was annoyed after the Canadian Grand Prix that the team had not followed through on a promise that, after giving up a place to Gasly to see if he could attack Daniel Ricciardo, the position was not given back before the chequered flag. “I've done my part of the job – the team hasn't, honestly,” he said. “It is not fair, on that race. So, I'm very frustrated with how things have been played out. I guess there are a lot of reasons, so we'll let the benefit of the doubt go on.
“I think Esteban can count on all the team to help him to get the best result, because Esteban having the best result is helping the team having the best possible result. And we count on Esteban to bring everything he can bring to the team. Photo by: Patrick Vinet / Motorsport Images “I say it like that, but I should not - because Esteban is part of the team.
